Hi All, wondering if anyone has had any experience in making their own roof top camper? I’m looking to build one along the lines of the Autohome / Magnolia style – ie approx 2.1m x 1.4m with an aluminum roof and pops up to about 950mm. Wondering what the best / easiest materials to work with for framework , cladding. Also any advice re using gas struts vs. scissor action lift mechanisms etc (not sure what’s available out there).
A supplier to the caravan industry recommended .5mm cladding on a maranti timber frame & a plywood base. Any help would be appreciated
I’m on the south side of
Melbourne.
Cheers
Alex
